DAT files
DAT files are VCD Video files used for playing video from a Video CD (VCD) optical disc. The .DAT file is commonly saved in the MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 format and contains video data from the VCD optical disc. The VCD format is a home video format and was the first format used to distribute movies on standard 120mm optical discs. VCDS could hold up to 800 MB which equals approximately 80 minutes of video. The format was created in 1993 by Sony, JVC, Philips, and Matsushita.
Although VCD optical discs have been superseded by other formats they can still be played by some DVD and Blu-ray Disc players. File Viewer Lite allows you to open the file and provides playback controls for playing the VCD video.
